DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Luchino Visconti Italy

His film 'Senso' (1954) is set in 1866 Venice during the Austrian occupation, capturing the city's decadence and political turmoil with stunning visual precision.

 Nicolas Roeg United Kingdom

'Don't Look Now' (1973) uses contemporary Venice as its setting but deeply explores the city's mysterious, Gothic atmosphere and labyrinthine canals that evoke its historical grandeur.
